Recruitment continues to be one of the biggest challenges facing our industry, especially with so many seasoned professionals stepping away and fewer younger individuals joining the workforce. It’s a topic I’ve been discussing with other leaders in construction, and together, we’re looking at ways to tackle it.

I am looking for some help to help others…

Technology in recruitment has advanced significantly in the last couple of years, turning many pipe dreams into reality.

When searching for a new role, what kind of assistance would you seek from a recruiter?
- Do you need help preparing a CV or personal statement?
- What tasks would you prefer to handle on your own?

I am open to a conversation to see how I can best support you. The best ideas always come from those using a service.

Manchester’s transport debate is heating up again.

Do we dig deep and build an underground network, or do we double down on trams, buses, and surface upgrades?

Both options have strong supporters.

On one side, the underground plan:

• Takes pressure off busy streets
• Moves more people, faster, below the city
• Sets Manchester up for future growth

But the challenges are huge:

• High costs, long timelines, major disruption
• Risk of delays and budget overruns
• Hard to get right without strong community backing

On the other side, improving surface transport:

• Expands the systems we already use
• Easier upgrades and quicker results
• Less disruption for the city above ground

But surface fixes can only go so far:

• Streets are already crowded
• Buses and trams face the same traffic as everyone else
• May not meet Manchester’s needs in 10 or 20 years

From my work in construction and infrastructure, I know there’s no simple answer.

We need to balance:

• Today’s urgent needs
• Tomorrow’s growth
• Value for public investment

The right solution will shape how Manchester moves, works, and grows for decades.

Do we take a bold leap underground, or do we keep building up what we have?

Let’s discuss.

Micromanagement kills trust. I’ve seen it break teams faster than any deadline ever could.

You know what a team needs most? Not more rules, not more eyes on every step, not another meeting. A team needs trust.

When leaders grip tighter:

→ Decisions get stuck
→ Teams pull away
→ Good people lose their spark

I spoke to a candidate last week. He works hard with his team. They share ideas, they talk openly, and they want to deliver. But above them, ownership wants to control every move, checks every detail, never lets go. The result? He cannot stand behind those choices. His team and clients feel let down. Motivation has faded.

In construction, I often hear this. When trust breaks down:

• Motivation drops
• Projects slow down
• Good ideas go nowhere

Now, look at teams that build real trust. Here is what happens:

1/ People say what is on their mind, even if it is tough
2/ Problems come out early, not too late
3/ Everyone knows they own their part
4/ Results come faster because people act, not wait
5/ Teams feel strong enough to try, to fail, and to learn

No one grows by being told what to do all day. Micromanagement might feel safe, but it only leads to confusion and missed goals. People stop caring, they stop thinking, and some will quietly leave.

I have learned that trust builds strong partnerships. Leave space for your people to act. Give them the power to own decisions. You will see the difference in your culture, your results, and your confidence as a leader.

What steps have you taken to move from control to trust in your teams?
